painful bump in breast

Elle · Hermes

Where are you in your cycle? Many women have cystic breasts, and the hormones in your body the couple weeks leading up to your period can make fthem swell and therefore cause some sore spots.

Sometimes your bra can cause deep sore spots too, along the outside edges where the wires hit.

My money would be on possiblity #1, but having it checked out by a doc is never a bad idea. Good luck!

I have cystic breasts, and you're describing what I felt the first time I became aware of the cysts. If you've never shown up with this kind of problem before, they might schedule you for a mammogram and an ultrasound. When I had the ultrasound, the doctor pointed out all the cysts to me. She said that drinking a lot of caffiene can make them bigger/sore.

Good luck! I hope you're okay.
